HorizonHustler+Followhiking with a weighted vest: am i making it harder for myself?Last weekend, I decided to try something new and wore a weighted vest on my usual morning hike. The trail is already pretty steep, and honestly, I was sweating buckets before I even reached the halfway point. My knees were complaining, and I kept wondering if this is actually helping my fitness or just making me miserable. I read somewhere that adding weight can boost endurance, but I’m not sure if it’s worth the extra aches and pains. Has anyone else tried this on hilly trails? Did you notice any real benefits, or did it just turn a peaceful walk into a struggle? Sometimes I feel like I’m just torturing myself for no good reason, especially when I see others breezing by without any extra gear. I’d love to hear if this is actually a smart idea or just another fitness fad that’s not meant for folks our age. #hikinglife #weightedvest #fitover50 #Travel00Share
